    “I was hearing the same story over and over again,” says neuropsychologist Dr Sherrie Baehr. “It was one of isolation, sadness and loss of direction.” These accounts came from brain injury survivors who, with depressing regularity, told Sherrie how society was rejecting them post-injury. After one such tale too many, she decided to take affirmative action by launching a charity that enables people with brain injuries to help themselves by helping others.

    Over 250 delegates gathered at London’s Royal Society of Medicine, with improving the approach to the UK brain injury challenge high on the agenda. Many of the issues raised reflected the findings of the landmark 2018 paper by acquired brain injury (ABI) all party parliamentary group (APPG), Time for Change. Diane Playford, professor of neurological rehabilitation at the University of Warwick and consultant in rehabilitation medicine at South Warwickshire Foundation Trust, alongside Ines Kander, PhD student at Warwick University, highlighted the ongoing need to change the community rehabilitation system which is, at best “ineffective”, and at worst “unavailable”.
